Because I want to keep my soul and pursue my passion for science, learning throughout my life and having some impact on someone's life. I want to do a meaningful job where I can say I helped someone because of my knowledge. When I graduate and specialise I want to go abroad and volunteer and give medical aid to a country where they dont have a healthcare system like ours, the kind of experiences you gain as a doctor and what you go through is one of a kind. Yes there are long hours, yes it can be *****y at times, yes there are tonnes of exams, but at the end of the day no job is perfect. Bankers have long hours as well, the exams i take when j specialise will be in topics that interest me. Not even for a day would I trade being a doctor for working in a soul less office looking at numbers and figures all day.
